POLICE in Belgium have launched a manhunt for a suspect they believe made the suicide vests used in last Friday’s terror attacks on Paris.

The man, named by Belgian media as Mohamed K, is wanted “even more than Salah Abdeslam” - who is currently being hunted down by French authorities.

Mohamed K is originally from the Caribbean but had been living in the northern French town of Roubaix.

Reports suggest French police warned authorities in Belgium about the alleged bomb maker.

Authorities believe the alleged bombmaker may have fled France and is currently hiding out in Belgium.

A former French intelligence official said: “A munitions specialist is someone who is used to handling explosives, who knows how to make them, to arrange them in a way that the belt or vest is not so unwieldy that the person can't move.

“And it must also not blow up by accident.”

A Belgian security source said: "Even more than Salah Abdeslam, he is the man we need to find as quickly as possible”.

It is feared the purported terrorist may have helped Abdeslam, a Belgian-based Frenchman who has been the subject of an international manhunt since the atrocities in the French capital.

Abdeslam has been described as the “logistics manager” of the Paris attacks.

The 26 year-old, who officials have said is “Public Enemy Number One” could have been high on drugs when he is believed to have massacred innocent people in Paris.

Police across Europe warned the terror suspect could be on the run in a Citroen Xsara with the registration AE-113-SY.

Shortly before the attacks, he requested two large rooms in a Paris hotel that could accommodate a number of people for a week, paying with his own bank card.

A source close to the criminal enquiry said a hotel in Alfortville had been booked starting last Wednesday.

It was believed he was holed up in an apartment stormed by French forces on Wednesday morning, but police have since said they are still looking for him.
